A new leak is giving us a clearer picture of what Samsung is planning for the Galaxy S26 lineup — and surprisingly, the most interesting part isn’t the phones themselves. It’s the accessories. Samsung looks ready to lean heavily into magnets and Qi2 wireless charging, something it hasn’t taken too seriously until now.
The info comes from Roland Quandt, who spotted early signs that Samsung wants the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra to fully support the Qi2 standard. The timing makes sense, with the series expected to launch toward the end of February 2026.
What stands out is the charging upgrade. All three phones should support Qi2, but the S26 Ultra is the only one rumored to jump to 25W wireless charging. That’s quite a step up from the S25 series’s 15W limit. If this sticks, wireless charging on the S26 Ultra might finally feel quick enough to use regularly.
The accessories are where things get more interesting. In addition to the phones, Samsung has apparently built magnets into most of their official cases as well. That includes Magnetic Clear, Magnetic Carbon, Magnetic Rugged, and Magnetic Silicon cases. The silicone one should come in black and grey. Nothing fancy, but clearly designed to “snap” into place the way Qi2 accessories require.
There’s also a magnetic wireless battery pack on the way — it recently showed up in the Wireless Power Consortium listings — plus a 25W Qi2 charger with the model number EP-P2900. Both seem tailored for the S26 lineup’s new charging speeds.
Another accessory mentioned in the leak is a Dual Magnet Ring Holder. It’s only meant for phones with a Bluetooth S Pen, so basically the S26 Ultra. It sounds like a combination grip/stand, which might appeal to people who sketch or take lots of notes.
Altogether, it looks like Samsung is finally moving toward a more magnetic, Qi2-friendly ecosystem. If even half of this pans out, the S26 launch could be the start of a much more unified accessory lineup — and possibly inspire other Android makers to follow.
